Thanks dude.+ killer grow

gottcha i have always cut my before hand but as i am in middle of harvest i will try one your wayThanks dude.
I am trying to follow my grow bro's advice on as much as I can. He grew professionally for the Bay area clubs for many years.
Although trimming is MUCH easier to do when first cut, Not doing so provides some protection from the loss of trichromes due to being knocked around, as well as THC degradation from light. Also helps to keep the drying process from progressing too fast (also the reason for cutting whole plant rather than colas) which can cause nice buds to smell and taste grassy.
I do not know shit, but my buds smell exotically yummy rather than pre-masticated horse shit.
Welcome Brother B! The new pics are back one page!Thanks for the invite, BongheadB
Very nice bro!Pics are of #4 and her trim and the last is of all Red Diesel in jars for cure.
K-Trains are 63 days and may be chopped this weekend.
Yeah the K-train is going to be sick. I have had a few one-hitters from pieces I have cut out due to male parts. My buddy thinks it is from a 24hr light schedule. Pretty much everything in the garden is doing this and it is the common denominator, that or light intensity. Not a huge deal but frustrating as everything (moms) have all had 24hrs light so problem may continue. My LA conf and Skunk Kush cuttings have not so we will see if they come out clean. But the trainwreck will be very nice!oh man that looks delicious!!! can i have some? cant wait for that k-train huh!
Yes I do feel pretty good! Though I have dreamed of having this, it is still not set in that I have produced more medicine than I can probably smoke! The ex-wife asks to come "home" daily...she has never lived here and we have been split for 11 years! I will kick her some and gave her boyfriend clones to encourage their self sufficiency.Do you feel like a proud gardener? I would. Seems like you produced an enjoyable amount of medicine. I wonder what it will smell/taste like after a full cure.
Thanks dudes!!!!!!Very nice bro!
Id + rep ya if it would let me, nice harvest !
I saw the pics and they looked a little droopy. I have not had the patience to root in soil, I tried while experimenting with torturing the males and gave up and tossed them in the trash. They were in an opaque trash bag near the growbox and a couple of weeks later I looked and they had, in the bag, turned towards the light and all had fully rooted.Hey Hayduke i took 12 clones the last tuesday, just wandering what are the signs that a clone has taken to its medium, they are all still holding their selfs up appart from 1, how long does it usually take duds, what should i be looking out for, also some of them have yellowing lower leaves

Ok thanks again Hayduke, my hood holds 6 x 18 watt bulbs i might raise it a bit, and the room is always warm, as there are two heater pipes running arround the room, they really piss me off to be honest as the heating comes on 3 times a day, so my plants get fried 3 times daily! gonna have to find somewhere else to use my cfl rig soon as i got no real control of the heat in this room, thanks alot for the help i'll just sit it out and see how these goMight be too much light, I would back it way back. I use less than 40 watts over mine and the height depends. My buddy uses 1 20w flouro tube. Right now I am using 2 14w daylight spectrum cfl's and it is 1 foot above the babies, and sometimes add a 23w in place of 1 14w, or just move near the veg box to get them used to stronger light.
My only attempt at rooting in soil was with my seedling mix which has no nutes...
A seedling heat mat or an old water bed heater helps keep medium warm. The seedling mats are too hot so I elevate the tray above the mat with some shims of wood. They make a thermostat or you could put on a timer also.
Most use a humidity dome, and if I cut all at once I use for the first 2-4 days. Lately I have had cuttings at different stages of rooting and have not used the dome with no real difference. They probably stand taller with the dome and extra humidity.
Since yours are approaching a week old I think they will be fine! But again may take another week or even two to root. Another reason I like the rockwool, as I would be digging in the pots to see if there are roots!
